duct tape conveyor

Needed to get 13 yds of dirt up 12 foot hill, so I went to rent a conveyor belt from the local rental store when I got there someone before me rented it for a week, was pissed cuz I just chatted with the rental store about renting it,,, so I made one, powered by a dune buggy I built yrs ago and the belt is made out of yes! Duct tape, 8 rolls, it worked for all 13 yrds,,,,,

me too! I need to excavate my crawl space as well and had been wracking my brain for appropriate belt material

Thanks. This looks like it could be a very nice solution for a lot of us. Would you care to build another one and shoot a video showing how to follow your design?

This is the key I needed. Thanks

[@PhotogPhrank]

can you tell me how you constructed this and how it's powered? I need to basically do the same thing, but under my house. Thanks!

+FronkinBrut,, so its made from wood 2-2x6's with 8 rolls of duct tape, nylon rope, 2 roller stands but just the rollers, from harbor freight tools, 1 dolly wheel also from harbor freight tools, 1/2 white PVC Pipe, powered by a dune buggy that I made and an old wheel barrel , I think it cost me right at $100 worked fine for 13 yrds of dirt,, so if you check with a rental place its about the same price to rent a 20footer per day..

FronkinBrut - do you still have the photos of this conveyor? And did you build one?
